Quote by: Keith As I've pointed out, infant mortality is measured in different ways in different countries. In the US, if a child takes even one breath and fails to survive, that's counted as infant mortality. In other countries a child has to survive for one day or five days or some such before that is counted as infant mortality. In the US, extremely premature births are put into intensive care and, if they survive for a day or two, but then die, that counts against us. In other countries no attempt is made to save such an infant. |
Care to back up this extravagant claim with any actual credible sourced fact? Are you suggesting that Sweden, say, (or any of the many other countries ahead of the US in this department) doesn't start counting from the first breath?
The US isn''t being compared with Burundi here.

Child violence is in large part due to age segregated mandatory schooling.
